CutDonald Penn - Had a good run here but his time is done.Michael Keonen - Cut his salary and pick up someone a lot cheaperResignEric Lorig -Good blocking fullbackJamon Meredith - Let him compete for a starting positionAndrew Economos - If it aint broke why fix it Adam Hayward - Special Teams captain and provides depth at all 3 LB position.RestructureDavin Joseph - Davin isn't stupid and knows he won't get a big contract if cut. He is very active in the community and really enjoys it in Tampa, so he decides to take a paycut and compete for a starting job.Carl Nicks - Not exactly sure how his contract works, just know it don't save us to much money to cut him, so he has all the leverage. Plus you don't know with his toe if he will ever play again. Not sure what were gonna do with him, but feel like something has to be done.Free AgentsAlex Mack - I think he will be our number 1 priority. Has knowledge of Tedford offense which will come in handy when teaching the playbook and making calls at the line. Plus I doubt many of their players want to stay in Cleveland right now. Jared Allen - No team is gonna break the bank for a 32 year old defensive end, so he decides to follow Frazier and end his career in sunny Florida.Charles Tillman - Like Allen, no team is gonna break the bank for a 33 year old CB, so he follows Smith and ends his career in Florida. He will come in as our nickel back, which Frazier has said it pretty much a starter in today's football. Josh McCown - Comes in and serves as competition/mentor to Glennon.Dexter McCluster/Emmanuel Sanders - Would like to see one of these 2 signed, preferably Sanders. Unfortunately I don't know if either one of these players make it to free agency. Would give us that speed in space that Tedford is looking for.Pat Angerer - Has experience in this type of defense, and would be a stopgap in the middle for a year or 2 until we can improve. This moves Foster outside and takes him out in nickel situations. Draft1. Hou - Blake Bortles - Houston decides to go with the QB who is bigger and has the stronger arm out of the top 3 QB's.2. StL - Jake Mathews - Jake Long just tore his ACL and is getting up there in age. 3. Jax - Jadveon Clowney - I think one of the top teams trade a second for Kirk cousins, and in this case I think its Jacksonville. Gus Bradley is a defensive minded coach and knows how important a pass rush is, and will not beable to pass up the potential Clowney has.4. Cle - Johnny Manziel - It comes down between Manziel and Bridgewater, and I think they go with the more exciting Manziel just to try to excite their fan base.5. Oak - Sammy Watkins - Calling it now Josh Freeman will be a Raider next year, reunited with Greg Olsen and will compete with Pryor and McGloin for starting QB. To make the competition a little easier Oakland goes with one of the most explosive WR's in the draft.6. Atl - Anthony Barr - Atlanta needs help protecting the passer the rushing the passer, and in the end they decide to go with the 2nd best pass rusher in the draft.7. TB - Greg Robinson - And Tampa fans everywhere riot for passing on what many believe is the number 1 QB prospect for an OT. But hear me out, I don't see much difference between him and Mike Glennon, besides that Bridgewater is shorter and slightly more athletic, although Glennon has showed he can avoid contact and throw on the run if need be. Lovie has spent the whole offseason analyzing where he went wrong, and we all know it started with the offensive line. Its why hes trying to go out and get a proven offensive line coach. Plus Tedford wants to run a power run scheme which Robinson would be perfect in. I think Lovie feels confident going into training camp with McCown and Glennon, and if Glennon proves hes not the answer well get one in next years draft, when the talent is a little better and we have less holes to fill where if we have to trade up we can.Rd. 2 - CJ Fiedorowicz - I think if ASJ is there he will be the pick, but assuming hes gone I really like CJ as a prospect, and think him and Wright would compliment eachother well. He will help right away in the running game, and could eventually be a consistent and trustworthy 3rd down target.Rd. 4. - Aaron Murray - He tore his ACL so he falls in the draft, and we will use this year as a "medical redshirt" season, where he can take his time rehabbing while also learning the playbook, kinda what San Fran did with Lattimore. He will come in next year and add competition to the QB position.Rds 5 - 7 - BPASo what do you guys think. I think this is all realistic and would help fill quite a few holes on this team and should have us in the playofff hunt.
I'd love to have Robinson...but I'd to move him to guard if he shows he can play there. Sign a center and another guard, and viola....instant run game and much improved pass game.

You don't draft a guard #7 overall.
really like the first two picksif robinson is there you take him at 7. he's a beast. tossing dudes like rag dolls. hopefully sefarian-jenkins is there in the 2nd. if not, fiedorowicz definitely isn't a bad alternative…he's a better blocker as well7 OT GREG ROBINSON - AUBURN38 TE AUSTIN SEFERIAN-JENKINS - WASHINGTON100 QB JIMMY GAROPPOLO - EASTERN ILLINOIS131 DE LARRY WEBSTER - BLOOMSBURG198 WR T.J. JONES - NOTRE DAMEi have a feeling allen is a strong possibility. hadn't thought of the mack-tedford connection from cal…wonder if that will help. if they sign mack as a FA and take robinson in the first it allows them to move dotson to LT, and dump penn's fat behind. zuttah can slide to guard and you force joseph to restructure. robinson plugs in at RT from day 1i personally think hester is a lock, especially with the comments lovie made about special teams. and if he's it as far as FA WR's (i think he will be because of the depth of the WR class) then STEAL a player like TJ jones from notre dame late and focus on a TE early. i'm hoping that the pass rush will be addressed one way or another, i think it will be through FA allowing them to take a DE prospect like webster later in the draft. also, with bringing hardy on as LB coach i can't shake the feeling that they're going to bring a vet in to really anchor the unit. wesley woodyard would be nice if he gets out of denver, although he was injured last year. someone i'd really like them to take a look at is kavell conner from indy, could be a real good signing as they'll likely resign angerer. conner is a thumper.
CJ Fiedorowicz is a 3rd or 4th round pick. Taking him in the second round because the top four TEs already were drafted would be a huge reach and horrible value imo. Also, Murray sucks. The rest is not bad.
Reach. Reach. Reach. The Robinson pick @ 7 is a desperation pick to replace Penn. Fiedorowicz isn't a top 40 player. No way. Murray is BLAH and coming off an ACL tear. No thanks. And I see no punter on this team.
realistc mocks are boring, so this one is overboard.trade doug for a 2.trade nicks for a 4.trade penn & joseph for 5s.trade vjax for djax. i hate trading a great person for schmuck, but it gives us younger speed demon who returns kicks and knows the offense.sign jared allen, alex mack, charles tillman, louis murphy, and riley cooper. if possible, sign chris johnson to a cheap 1 year prove it deal.re-sign depth guys casillas, hayward, page, meredith, lorig, etc1 - robinson/matthews.2 - sefarian jenkins.2 - aaron donald.3 - michael sam - use 2 4ths to move up.4 - OG - use later picks to move up.7 - traded for rights of johnathon martin.we add speed and depth on the DL. we revamp the OL. stilll have some holes (mlb, db) but we are moving int he right direction. we have added some malcontents-troublemakers but they are playmakers.or realistically...we sign jared allen and some nfl veterans. we draft DL and OL in the early rounds, wr and cb in the later rounds.

Amen!
Robinson is not worth a top 10 pick, wake up people. Yes he does a nice job of "tossing people around" but he isn't fully developed as a pass blocker. He's a plus run blocker and a mediocre at best pass blocker right now with upside to be a good one. With that said he's not someone we should consider because quite frankly its a terrible waste to pick a run blocker T that high. If he's there in the second sure. I think his best value is at guard where he can be better suited to hide his run blocking deficiencies. No nah and nope to Robinson at 7.

Personally if the Bucs do cut Donald Penn then you can expect them to go after Branden Albert, Eugene Monroe or Jared Valdheer in Free Agency.
No way.....If Bridgewater makes it that far, we take him, or trade it. The Vikes are sitting right behind us salivating for him.
I don't think Penn needs to be replaced, but I'd be ok with cutting him, Joseph, Nicks, and Zuttah if we were able to sign Veldheer, Mack, and Jon Asamoah. Would need to sign the new guys first though before cutting or trading anyone. Can't take any chances.
Here is a pretty awesome mock draft simulator. Doesn't allow trades, but it's still fun. http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/ I did one as the Browns just cause they have the draft picks I wish we did! http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/draft.php?d=qnymdk
